Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It is going to be a scorcher of a day here.

The social distancing will take a hammering today as the fine weather brings people out . Roll on the Oxford vaccine and any others that make the grade
I was on a Zoom meeting last week and the guest speaker was discussing the vaccines under development. Apparently they aren't using a weakened / modified live virus as is the case with some vaccines. This is good news for people who are immune compromised where weakened / altered live viruses ( virii?) might be a problem.The social distancing will take a hammering today as the fine weather brings people out .

Very pleased to hear that all is well Dave.Good morning people, a warm and sunny morning, my Good Lady is home now, a minor infection apparently.
I would like to think that all those people live in high rise or have no gardens. At least that would be a decent reason.Morning all
I don't think I'll be venturing out today. Yesterday was manic enough.
Beaches were all rammed, traffic was at a standstill on the main roads. The back lanes through to Georgeham and Croyde were gridlocked. Accidents were blocking the roads at Potts Corner, Blackmoor Gate, the M5 and the Link Road ....... and it was blazing hot. Who'd be a motorist on a day like that?
Do people set out for the coast, thinking that all the jams are happening to someone else, and they will get through OK?
Deluded!
At this time of year we would normally be away in the caravan, somewhere inland and avoiding the crowds.
But
I think they are just short of coomon sense.
I thought Grockle was just a Devon/Cornish word ???It is going to be a scorcher of a day here.
Done the Aldi dash.
Been to Heron food store
Taken stuff to the aunty
Back home.
What a good boy am I
.
Anyway......for the 1st time in over 3 months I am feeling good. No shaking, no sweats, legs dont feel like lead.
I am going to stick to my plan of doing bits in the garden so that I can rest if needed BUT if I feel this good tomorrow I feel a ride coming on.

Out before 7 oclock this morning to find a small queue at the coop but got straight in and they even had bread flour in stock.
Instead of taking the shopping home went up to my usual spot to start on the trike and found a German camper van parked there so had to search about for another spot with enough room to get the ramps out to roll the trike down. Thank goodness I had long trousers and long sleeves as the midges were diabolical. If the camper is still there tomorrow there will probably just be skeletons left.
Just a few workers vans on the go at that time and they are no hazard generally as they expect me somewhere on this road now.

As you know we had new carpet fitted yesterday, anyways the recycling centre is not easy to get into a the the moment so we thought FB market place for them, wow! the response has been hectic, a small piece of 10 year old carpet went to a delighted bloke for £20 and the larger piece to somebody from 50 miles away for £50, this from something if the dumps were easy would have gone there. That will make a new inner tube and 16 bottles of wine.

Thats a bonus! When we had our laminate flooring put down a few weeks ago they disposed of the old carpet for us, perhaps I should have tried to sell it, I didn't thing it would be worth anything, it had been down 7 years and was a bit grotty.
